Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Tripp Lite's 10-outlet Protect It! surge suppressor (model TLP1008TEL) provides economical AC surge suppression for workstations, PCs, telecom systems, home electronics, and other sensitive equipment. The TLP1008TEL offers 10 outlets, an eight-foot cord with a space-saving right-angle plug, and diagnostic LEDs confirm suppressor "protection present" (green) and "grounded" (red) status.

The unit has a surge-suppression rating of 2395 joules to shield equipment from line noise and even the strongest surges. One input and two output RJ-11 analog phone jacks prevent surges from damaging your modem/fax/phone equipment.

Two rows of outlets include five widely spaced inputs for bulky "wall wart" transformers, which won't cover the remaining outlets. Built-in sliding outlet safety covers keep dust and fingers out of unused inputs.

Keyhole mounting tabs permit wall mounting, and the strip exceeds IEEE 587 category A&B specifications. The suppressor is covered by $150,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance (USA & Canada only) with a data-recovery warranty.

What's in the Box
One TLP1008TEL surge suppressor, a 6-foot RJ-11 telephone cord, and an instruction manual with warranty information

This review is from: Tripp Lite TLP1008TEL 10 Outlet Surge Protector (2395 Joules, Tel/DSL) (Electronics)

As a computer geek, home theater enthusiast, video game junkie, and musician with a home recording studio, I have far too many things to plug in and waaaay too few electrical outlets to meet my needs. Enter power strips. I've got several of your standard 5-outlet power strips/surge protectors around the house. There are two of them behind my home theater and the mess back there almost brings me to tears.

Like the other fellow who reviewed this product, I too am putting the cheap extension cords to use for those irritating wall warts that take up 2 or more spaces on your conventional power strips. Behind my computers are more conventional power strips and big messes of cords. But for my recording studio, I have cleaned up and simplified things with the Tripp-Lite 10-outlet surge suppressor.

I should break down and get about a few more of them because I am thrilled with the design of this thing. 10 outlets! And half of them are spaced apart from the others so that the wall warts will fit on there without encroaching upon any of the other outlets. Awesome. I have it mounted to my wall and while there's still a stinking mess of wires back there, at least I can get to them and behold: there are even 2 empty slots.

I'm not using the telephone cord surge protection feature, but I don't see that as a reason to penalize with less stars like some other character did in his review. So you don't want to plug your phone into this thing, don't plug in your phone.

The layout of this power strip and having a whopping 10 outlets is the bomb. As I type this review I look over at the thing and it makes me happy. I'm ordering a couple more right now.

This review is from: Tripp Lite TLP1008TEL 10 Outlet Surge Protector (2395 Joules, Tel/DSL) (Electronics)

I have a ridiculous number of things to plug in at my computer desk and my home theater, and both locations have a bunch of big and space wasting AC adapters. I was using those cheap white extension cords that have three outlets on the end for most of the since they took up so much space on the normal power strips. After some research through the power strips and surge suppressors (and even some UPSs), I bought one of these Trip Lites, and I was so happy with how everything fit so well and how I was able to consolidate my plugs and lose a few of the white extensions, I bought three more, and they have totally revamped my wiring into a very compact, organized, and manageable cluster. I plan on buying a couple more in case they stop making them, although I doubt the ones I have will have any problems.

I'm not recommending this for it's surge protection, because that's not the reason I bought it, and frankly, I've never really have a problem with surges, but if you have AC adapters hogging wall space, this is a great (and low cost compared to a few other similar ones) solution.

Great spacing for when you have like five big AC adaptors. The low profile angled plug head was a nice surprise. Wonderful product, I've bought two of them... one over a 1 year ago.
